Where can I get sunBLOCK for dc’s face?

Plenty of suncream but I want sun block? It’s for their faces when we go to Spain in the summer. Every year (and I am VERY careful with their skin) where they are in the water so much they catch the sun and sometimes burn across their nose and along the cheeks where they have goggles on and off I guess. So this year I want to try sum block and of course still be vigilant.

Sunzapper do amazing flesh coloured zinc stick&a few bright colours too..we all use it in the ultra-harsh Aussie sun,year in year out..works a treat-you need to actually get it off with a flannel&shower gel,they do an awesome invisible zinc cream too-(my mate uses it) we are outside so much we live in rashies&legging otherwise itd b a3rd degree burns situShock..myDC never been burnt yet.

Thanks bon I came across those on amazon but not actual sum block? Are you able to show me a link?

I use spf 50 on them but really want to try an actual block this holiday.

Ok yes..It is a total sunblock but in stick form-but v thick so yeah the Sunzapper zinc cream b better! works on my mate(who we kayak with &is too slack to wear rashies like us!)we always wear these water style hats which give great added coverage down to bridge of nose.Mate says he got it online its a150ml tube,white bottle..zinc totally blocks everything out&the 'invisible zinc'cream is great too but expensive.Ive also used Clarins SPF30 dry oil spray on me(so not on DC)&altough not a block it was really effective.

Do you have girls with long hair? I found that taking them to have their hair braided back as soon as we get there made a huge difference. Half the problem with mine was, they were always brushing their wet hair out if their faces whilst in the pool which meant they rubbed off the cream.

No boys, one of which is autistic and spends most of the time under water so a hat isn’t feasible for him when he’s in water?

And they do wear rash vests and don’t burn anywhere else.
